Based on a discussion with George F. Biernan, a nombor of the GPU Nuclear Stocring Committee, wo have the following comments tn the Eid Roquest:
1.1 P1nnt C m bilitv-The range of 600-750 101 is intended to give Eidders floxibility in solocting their cos.t economical size.
The naximun is 750 101 not olectrical capability, since this o is all that can be handlod by the transmission system..Any capacity in excess of this anount would actually bo penalized by the additional cost of the transmission equipmont.
1 3 Dasien a constructies ob3cetive_s_-You will note that this plant
. is to be for operation on ecoling towers and presumably is the first nuclear plant so designed.
Any cocments vo may
$esMY have with regard to the effect of the cooling tower plumo on NR the gaseous wasto disposal from the plant would bo most 35

A4-7 PIELIMIL'ARY 3ID RL' QUEST NUCLEAR PLANT FEBRUARY 5.1.9 Rndi. etive 1.hsto Treatment nnd Disposal - It is noted hero that the treatment systo= nust havo sufficient capacity to handle vaste which would rosult if one percont of the fuel rods woro loating.
Gilbert Associatos feel that this number is tco high and vill result in excess tankage and storage c c.pacity.
If we have any thoughts on a more realistic number uo should bo prepared to discuss it.
In connection with the limits for liquid vaste disposal, they are thinking of reducing them below the present caximum allow-able li=its cf'the sa=e, paragraph vhoroin they state "Environmentalsom what on tho Exposure duo to Plant Affluent Shall Not Exceed One-Tenth of the Permissible Values under the Operating License and Applicable Regulations."
IIe understand that it will be much nore difficult to moet these = ore stringement requireccats with a BUR than a PWR.
5.1.1 _ Cort-intent
- This paragraph contains several require =cnts with regard to the method of testing required.
Ne understand that on so=o previous designs, such as Dresdon yl, the testing required for the containuent approximately twice the tino required after refueling, was to do the actual refueling.
Taay are anxious to explore the economic advantages of double containnont with the thought in mind that this may provide centinuous testing which would expedito the return to full pouer operation after a refueling cycle.
Any thoughts vo nay have on this iton would be of groat interest to the customer.
Copies of the preliminary bid request has been issued to three biddors (Babcock & Wilcox, Westinghouse and General Electric) and each has boon asked to comment on it in detail with a viou to elitinating all questionable items prior. to request for formal bids on April 1.

A-4-7 PRELIMINARY BID REQUEST NUCLEAR PLANT FEBRUARY 8, 1966
_4-In order to save time, we have already made reservations for eight peoplo at the Reading Motor Inn, the evening.of Wednesday, February 23, and lunchoon reservations for the entire group on Thursday, c
on the assumption that the meeting vill last all day.
This is intended to be a wide open meeting during which we vill be given every opportunity to display our nuclear know-hov.
Pickard & Lowe and GPU's legal counsel, G.. Fox Trowbridge, will be particularly interested in our experience and know-how of the licensing phase of the project.
All others vill be interested in the ability of our Company as an and construct, including start-up and testingorganization to engineer, fabricate, a plant of this magnitude by the concercial operation date the,y have specified.
In line with this nanpower, nuclear,know-hov and overall organization.we have been advised We have been advised repeatedly that they are most nnxious to have at least three or four contractors in the nuclear field and they expset to give us every possible opportunity to put our best foot forward.
Unofficially the same sentiments have been expressed by Gilbert Associates, Inc., the Consulting Engineers.
They do not expect to devote much time to the subject of fuel costs.
However a short discussion of the type of fuel contract we propose for,the Carolina Power & Light Co. job would be most helpful.
At the moment they appear to be interested in leasing the fuel rather than outright ownership.
